I think a point to consider is this:

The role of the operating system is to manage machine resources and allocate them
to the different tasks running on the system in a way that is transparent to the
programmer.  Thus, I don't think that the way Multifinder does task switching is
very clean or real.  True, most Mac application have to busy wait in a
GetNextEvent loop anyway, but that is just an artifact of bad design in the
beginning.  Busy waiting is ugly and uneeded.

So, my point is that I don't want to think about task switching at all when I'm
coding, I think that that sort of bookeeping is up to the OS to handle.
